those individuals their moral responsibility to the society in which they live. If they don't practice moral economics, then people can't live together. The first time that the Buddha wanted to ordain, his family thought it was a joke. The same thing happened to Christ, and to Muhammad. They were all prisoners of the world. Humans are the prisoners of the world.
"The teachers are the second parents and they have to accept being the role model for the individuals. Any other person to whom we think is important in our life, for example, our doctor, is only a person who is in and out of our life on an as-needs basis. But our teacher is our teacher for life.
"Currently, teachers only teach the subject they are hired to teach, but they do not teach moral development. We have to change that. Americans originally came from Europe looking for religious freedom. Everyone was responsible for the country's freedom of mind. They did, in fact, create freedom of mind and body. But the responsibility of the country now is not the same as it was when it was founded.
"It has to change. And each person has to change him or herself. Each person has to ultimately be responsible for him or herself. But do not let the evil of others destroy us. Be moral. If I don't have evil, I will not use the evil of others to destroy, nor will I be the cause of doing evil.
"The world needs moral people. The world needs role models to follow. Be that role model."
And then I think, if I am standing in the middle of my six directions and I am meditating, spreading out loving kindness, my light will automatically spread to everyone.
